Prioritization of Variants Detected by Next Generation Sequencing According to the Mutation Tolerance and Mutational Architecture of the Corresponding Genes
International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Prioritization of Variants Detected by Next Generation Sequencing According to the Mutation Tolerance and Mutational Architecture of the Corresponding Genes Iria Roca, Ana Fernández-Marmiesse, Sofía Gouveia, Marta Segovia and María L. Couce * Unit of Diagnosis and Treatment of Congenital Metabolic Diseases, Department of Pediatrics, Hospital Clínico Universitario de Santiago de Compostela, 15706 Santiago de Compostela, Spain; [email protected] (I.R.); [email protected] (A.F.-M.); sofi[email protected] (S.G.); [email protected] (M.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-981-950-102 Received: 3 April 2018; Accepted: 23 May 2018; Published: 27 May 2018 Abstract: The biggest challenge geneticists face when applying next-generation sequencing technology to the diagnosis of rare diseases is determining which rare variants, from the dozens or hundreds detected, are potentially implicated in the patient’s phenotype. Thus, variant prioritization is an essential step in the process of rare disease diagnosis. In addition to conducting the usual in-silico analyses to predict variant pathogenicity (based on nucleotide/amino-acid conservation and the differences between the physicochemical features of the amino-acid change), three important concepts should be borne in mind. The first is the “mutation tolerance” of the genes in which variants are located. This describes the susceptibility of a given gene to any functional mutation and depends on the strength of purifying selection acting against it. The second is the “mutational architecture” of each gene. This describes the type and location of mutations previously identified in the gene, and their association with different phenotypes or degrees of severity. -

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated. -

ARTICLE Received 20 Feb 2015 | Accepted 17 Apr 2015 | Published 26 May 2015 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms8214 OPEN Comprehensive survey of condition-specific reproductive isolation reveals genetic incompatibility in yeast Jing Hou1, Anne Friedrich1, Jean-Sebastien Gounot1 & Joseph Schacherer1 Genetic variation within a species could cause negative epistasis leading to reduced hybrid fitness and post-zygotic reproductive isolation. Recent studies in yeasts revealed chromo- somal rearrangements as a major mechanism dampening intraspecific hybrid fertility on rich media. Here, by analysing a large number of Saccharomyces cerevisiae crosses on different culture conditions, we show environment-specific genetic incompatibility segregates readily within yeast and contributes to reproductive isolation. Over 24% (117 out of 481) of cases tested show potential epistasis, among which 6.7% (32 out of 481) are severe, with at least 20% of progeny loss on tested conditions. Based on the segregation patterns, we further characterize a two-locus Dobzhansky–Mu¨ller incompatibility case leading to offspring respiratory deficiency caused by nonsense mutation in a nuclear-encoding mitochondrial gene and tRNA suppressor. We provide evidence that this precise configuration could be adaptive in fluctuating environments, highlighting the role of ecological selection in the onset of genetic incompatibility and reproductive isolation in yeast. 1 Department of Genetics, Genomics and Microbiology, University of Strasbourg/CNRS, UMR7156, 28 rue Goethe, 67083 Strasbourg, France.

Read Full License Page 1/33 Abstract Background Breast cancer is one of the most important causes of mortality in the world, and Tamoxifen therapy is known as a medication strategy for estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. In current study, two hypotheses of Tamoxifen consumption in breast cancer cell line (MCF7) were investigated. First, the effect of Tamoxifen on genes expression prole at transcriptome level was evaluated between the control and treated samples. Second, due to the fact that Tamoxifen is known as a mutagenic factor, there may be an association between the alterations of genetic variants and Tamoxifen treatment, which can impact on the drug response. Methods In current study, the whole-transcriptome (RNA-seq) dataset of four investigations (19 samples) were derived from European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI). At transcriptome level, the effect of Tamoxifen was investigated on gene expression prole between control and treatment samples. -

Methods Predicting Gene Ontology Biological Process From Temporal Gene Expression Patterns Astrid Lægreid,1,4 Torgeir R. Hvidsten,2 Herman Midelfart,2 Jan Komorowski,2,3,4 and Arne K. Sandvik1 1Department of Cancer Research and Molecular Medicine, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, N-7489 Trondheim, Norway; 2Department of Information and Computer Science, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, N-7491 Trondheim, Norway; 3The Linnaeus Centre for Bioinformatics, Uppsala University, SE-751 24 Uppsala, Sweden The aim of the present study was to generate hypotheses on the involvement of uncharacterized genes in biological processes. To this end,supervised learning was used to analyz e microarray-derived time-series gene expression data. Our method was objectively evaluated on known genes using cross-validation and provided high-precision Gene Ontology biological process classifications for 211 of the 213 uncharacterized genes in the data set used. In addition,new roles in biological process were hypothesi zed for known genes. Our method uses biological knowledge expressed by Gene Ontology and generates a rule model associating this knowledge with minimal characteristic features of temporal gene expression profiles. This model allows learning and classification of multiple biological process roles for each gene and can predict participation of genes in a biological process even though the genes of this class exhibit a wide variety of gene expression profiles including inverse coregulation. A considerable number of the hypothesized new roles for known genes were confirmed by literature search. In addition,many biological process roles hypothesi zed for uncharacterized genes were found to agree with assumptions based on homology information. -

New Perspective in Diagnostics of Mitochondrial Disorders
Pronicka et al. J Transl Med (2016) 14:174 DOI 10.1186/s12967-016-0930-9 Journal of Translational Medicine RESEARCH Open Access New perspective in diagnostics of mitochondrial disorders: two years’ experience with whole‑exome sequencing at a national paediatric centre Ewa Pronicka1,2*, Dorota Piekutowska‑Abramczuk1†, Elżbieta Ciara1†, Joanna Trubicka1†, Dariusz Rokicki2, Agnieszka Karkucińska‑Więckowska3, Magdalena Pajdowska4, Elżbieta Jurkiewicz5, Paulina Halat1, Joanna Kosińska6, Agnieszka Pollak7, Małgorzata Rydzanicz6, Piotr Stawinski7, Maciej Pronicki3, Małgorzata Krajewska‑Walasek1 and Rafał Płoski6* Abstract Background: Whole-exome sequencing (WES) has led to an exponential increase in identification of causative vari‑ ants in mitochondrial disorders (MD). Methods: We performed WES in 113 MD suspected patients from Polish paediatric reference centre, in whom routine testing failed to identify a molecular defect. WES was performed using TruSeqExome enrichment, followed by variant prioritization, validation by Sanger sequencing, and segregation with the disease phenotype in the family. Results: Likely causative mutations were identified in 67 (59.3 %) patients; these included variants in mtDNA (6 patients) and nDNA: X-linked (9 patients), autosomal dominant (5 patients), and autosomal recessive (47 patients, 11 homozygotes). Novel variants accounted for 50.5 % (50/99) of all detected changes. In 47 patients, changes in 31 MD-related genes (ACAD9, ADCK3, AIFM1, CLPB, COX10, DLD, EARS2, FBXL4, MTATP6, MTFMT, MTND1, MTND3, MTND5, NAXE, NDUFS6, NDUFS7, NDUFV1, OPA1, PARS2, PC, PDHA1, POLG, RARS2, RRM2B, SCO2, SERAC1, SLC19A3, SLC25A12, TAZ, TMEM126B, VARS2) were identified. The ACAD9, CLPB, FBXL4, PDHA1 genes recurred more than twice suggesting higher general/ethnic prevalence. In 19 cases, variants in 18 non-MD related genes (ADAR, CACNA1A, CDKL5, CLN3, CPS1, DMD, DYSF, GBE1, GFAP, HSD17B4, MECP2, MYBPC3, PEX5, PGAP2, PIGN, PRF1, SBDS, SCN2A) were found.
